MCP Multiagent Bridge is a lightweight Python server designed for secure coordination of multiple LLM agents using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
MCP Multiagent Bridge
Production-ready Python MCP server for secure multi-agent coordination with comprehensive safeguards.
Overview
Enables multiple LLM agents (Claude, Codex, GPT, etc.) to collaborate safely through the Model Context Protocol without sharing workspaces or credentials. Built with security-first architecture and production-grade safeguards.
Use cases:
- Backend agent coordinating with frontend agent on different codebases
- Security review agent validating changes from development agent
- Specialized agents collaborating on complex multi-step workflows
- Any scenario requiring isolated agents to communicate securely
Key Features
🔒 Security Architecture
Authentication & Authorization:
- HMAC-SHA256 session token authentication
- Automatic secret redaction (API keys, passwords, tokens, private keys)
- 3-hour session expiration with automatic cleanup
- SQLite WAL mode for atomic, race-condition-free operations
4-Stage YOLO Guard™: Command execution (optional) requires multiple confirmation layers:
- Environment gate - explicit
YOLO_MODE=1opt-in - Interactive typed confirmation phrase
- One-time validation code (prevents automation)
- Time-limited approval tokens (5-minute TTL, single-use)
Rate Limiting:
- Token bucket algorithm with configurable windows
- Default: 10 requests/minute, 100/hour, 500/day
- Per-session tracking with automatic reset
- Prevents abuse while allowing legitimate bursts
Audit Trail:
- Comprehensive JSONL logging of all operations
- Timestamps, session IDs, actions, results
- Tamper-evident sequential logging
- Supports compliance and forensic analysis
🏗️ Production-Ready Architecture
- Message-only bridge - No auto-execution, returns proposals only
- Schema validation - Strict JSON schemas for all MCP tools
- Command validation - Configurable whitelist/blacklist patterns
- Comprehensive error handling - Graceful degradation, informative errors
- Extensible design - Plugin architecture for future backends
📦 Platform Support
Works with any MCP-compatible LLM:
- Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Claude API
- OpenAI models (via MCP adapters)
- Anthropic API models
- Custom/future models (not tied to specific backend)
